Multicenter Study Observational StudyEchocardiography phenotypes of right ventricular involvement in COVID-19 ARDS patients and ICU mortality: post-hoc (exploratory) analysis of repeated data from the ECHO-COVID study.
Exploratory study to evaluate the association of different phenotypes of right ventricular (RV) involvement and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ⋯ RV involvement is prevalent in patients ventilated for COVID-19 ARDS. Different phenotypes of RV involvement might lead to different ICU mortality, with ACP having the worst outcome.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a rare critical congenital heart defect constituting a prevalence of 1/3,500 to 1/12,500 live births in which there is obstructions to the blood flow within the left heart. Here we present a case of a full-term 38 weeks male baby with a birth weight of 3.5 kg, and no obvious physical deformity referred to our centre at 22 hours of life for respiratory distress and cyanosis. At 23 hours of life, he was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and kept on Prostaglandin E1 infusion till the 12th day of life. The baby had a large ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect with a severely hypoplastic left ventricle, hypoplastic aortic root, ascending aorta and post-ductal coarctation of the aorta. The diagnosis was reconfirmed by computed tomography cardiac angiography on the 10th day of life with the same cardiac findings suggestive of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. ⋯ case reports; congenital heart disease; hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
